Wore a constant smile. she bowed and
thanked the people, and whenever on tho
way she recognized any person she fairly
beamed with Joy. Over her black costume
the Queen wore a white lace gown. Hor

odors of the hawthorns, and the splendid
uniforms of the military, coupled with the
enthusiasm Of the crowd, made the occasion
one of refreshing enchantment.
